What is the benefit of using a touch free thermometer vs a standard thermometer?

The Welch Allyn CareTemp touch free thermometer is a quick and easy way to screen patient temperatures. Within a busy clinical environment, clinicians will be able to take multiple readings without the need of cleaning the device between each patient.
With no patient skin contact required, the Welch Allyn CareTemp touch free thermometer helps to minimise the risk of cross-contamination.
